Former Old Dominion running back Ray Lawry signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League, the team announced Tuesday.

Lawry is ODU’s all-time leading rusher, with 4,080 yards, and finished his career as Virginia’s all-time FBS leader in rushing yards. He is tied for third in C-USA history with 45 rushing touchdowns and ninth in rushing yards.

“This is another opportunity for me to get out there and do what I love to do,” Lawry said in a statement released by ODU. “It’s not where I planned to be, but everything happens for a reason and I’m looking to make a name for myself and work my butt off to get back to the NFL. Hamilton is a good, established team and is a good fit for me.”

Lawry signed as an undrafted free agent with the Cincinnati Bengals before signing with Kansas City and playing in one preseason game for the Chiefs.

The Hustle got the 6-8, 220-pound forward on a waiver claim. Tillman had joined Wonju Dongbu Promy of the Korean Basketball League last August. In 11 games in Korea, Tillman averaged 25.5 points and 11.7 rebounds.
